Fuller, Singer 'team for SelleVision'

Bryan Fuller and Bryan Singer have teamed up to adapt Augusten Burroughs novel SelleVision for NBC.

The Pushing Daisies creator is to write the project, while the X-Men filmmaker will direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The one-hour comedy programme will centre on the behind-the-scenes happenings at a home shopping network.

The pair will executive produce the show with Galgos Entertainment's Russell Nuce and Mark Bozek. The latter was the former CEO of Home Shopping Network, prior to starting the production company.

"It's a very insular, highly competitive world with people living in it 24/7 whether they are on the air or not, and their lives are all about how many dollars per minute they can make for the company," Bozek said.

Singer added: "The talent of this team, coupled with Mark's years of experience with the subject matter, promises to deliver a fun, contemporary and original show."

Fuller also explained that the adaptation will remain faithful to the book, saying: "We will keep true to the tone of the book, and most of the characters will be the same."

It was recently reported that Singer is developing a 2012-based miniseries for the Syfy network.
